In our opening segment, I discuss the local reporting on the Anne Arundel school budget. During recessionary times with local tax revenue dropping, the local unelected school board considers a massive increase in spending and the local media hails it as reasonable. You need to hear the latest from the county’s crony-filled school board.

Our blogger roundtable, with RedMaryland contributors Brian Griffiths and Mark Newgent, convenes for our 2009 General Assembly Preview. Will 2009 be another year for tax increases in Maryland as the State faces a $2 Billion deficit? What are the other issues which will come to the fore over the next 90 days? Our blogger contributors share their insight and opinions.

In our closing segment, another installment of the “Nut Ball Box.” With the peaceful transition of power in Washington, innumerable conspiracy theorists predicting a police state or Bush coup d’etat have been exposed for the nuts they are.
